Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 26)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Smusma2/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Smusma2/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Smusma2. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Rose Dodd, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I saw your message on Theroadislong's page. Are you working or Rose Dodd or her publisher? Thanks. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020[edit]

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Draft:Rose Dodd, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Smusma2, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Smusma2|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Sulfurboy (talk) 07:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:29, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rose Dodd wikipedia page[edit]

I am trying again to contact you to ask about Rose Dodd wikipedia page.

Apparently I have to sign a COI? I am not being paid. I contributed to her book on Christopher Fox - with a chapter and set one of her poems in 1996. Her publisher thought I would be a good person to write her page as I am also a composer/writer.

I am new to wikipedia and honestly find it confusing. Could you please let me know how I 'officially' submit the page with the COI. I have to admit, I am completely lost.

--Smusma2 (talk) 18:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You asked this on my talk page where I replied, see WP:DISCLOSE. Theroadislong (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Rose Dodd[edit]

Hello, Smusma2. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Rose Dodd".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:45, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
